    So some of you folks may have heard through the grapevine that there might just be a “Frankenstorm” coming. * But not to CMAC – at least I’m still a hopeless romantic!

    This storm has caused two of our original speakers to politely decline from coming on Sunday due to the potential for really bad and quite possibly dangerous traveling conditions. Some hurricane track models have CT as close to the area of landfall, but we just don’t know for sure.

    Both Murray Camp and Christine Williams let them know yesterday about their concerns of potentially having to travel poor weather. They told them to do what’s best and that safety is first.

    Lastly, just prior to their meet and greet, the gentlemen Wayde King and Brett Raymer will give us a quick 30 minute background talk about who they are, what they do, etc.
    So, as of right now (Saturday the 27th at 9:53 AM) our schedule of events is as follows:

    8:00-8:30 Conference Opens – Registration Table Opens

    8:30-9:00 Vendor Room Opens

    9:00-10:00 Steven Pro Presentation / Vendor Room Opens [1 hour]

    10:00-10:15 Steven ProQ/A Session [15 mins]

    10:15-10:30 Break [15 mins]

    10:30-11:30 Marc Levinson Presentation [1 hour]

    11:30-11:45 Marc Levinson Q/A Session [15 mins]

    11:45-1:00 Lunch Break [1 hour, 15 mins]

    1:00-1:45 Justin Credebel Presentation [45 min]

    1:45-2:15 Wayde and Brett from Acrylic Tank Manufacturing ATM also from the hit TV show

    'Tanked' will do a quick talk and then our meet and Session [30 mins]

    2:15-4:15 Meet the Stars of 'Tanked'[2 hours]

    4:15-5:00 Club Raffle [45 mins]

    5:00 Conference Close -Thank you all so very much

    NEW BIOS:

    Again, to the best of my ability:

    Marc Levinson:

    "Sumps 101"

    Everything you need to know to make and informed decision.

    This topic covers everything conceivable to planning and installing a sump, including plumbing, electrical, tank stands, sump layouts, refugiums, lighting, evaporated water top off, and what to avoid..

    Justin Credebel:

    Goniopora Care and Hydrogen Peroxide Use:

    A review of Goniopora care, including system care, installing a system deshings, species requirements, and feeding.

    Also a primer on hydrogen peroxide and its use for pest removal and algae control.

    I hope this information helps!


    Also, the admission price is $30 at the door. If you bring along some non-perishable food to be donated to a local food shelter, they will give you a $5 discount.

    I'll be there, the only problem is that the controllable fixtures wont make it in time, but there will be plenty of stuff to show off!
